Our booth had heaps of photos and breed information on the
walls behind us, a friendly, happy Husky to be patted and one of us there to
answer all questions about the breed, our dogs, and Huskies looking for
homes.

Here, Ace of Spades is wearing the "I Need A New Home"
coat and is waiting with Mara (wearing the Husky hair knitted beret) for
someone special to come along and meet him.

Ace went to his new family home that day, is now called Johnny,
and has been neutered by his new owners.

Enclosed yards were provided for the dogs to get away from
their adoring public and rest. Sometimes it didn't work, and children
followed our dogs into the yard.

Here Duncan is getting more cuddles,
while Rebel and Cricket concentrate of a treat in the background.

Yes, we do own a "Snow Dogs"
movie poster which makes a great backdrop

Monty

This lovely dog came here in May to stay for a while and go to shows with
us.

Sibaska Sekenes Scandal

a full brother to Sassy and Kandy
who spent their youth with us (1999 + 2000)

Monty gained his Endurance Test title on 25 June and won Best Exhibit in
Group at Nowra on 12 August

(this picture was taken at the Nowra Show)

August 2006 saw Faith come in to Rescue. She
was wandering for a week around southern Canberra before she was picked up -
and then her owner didn't want her back.

We took her in to foster care and
discovered that Faith is Monty's niece! Her sire (Ch Sibaska Sekenes Style)
is Monty's brother.

You can see the family
resemblance here - Faith on the left and Monty on the right

Faith quickly found the best
family home in Canberra

Mara's nephew, Francis Mikula-Quilty was confirmed on
18 August.

Mara was his sponsor for the ceremony.

In Adelaide for an Easter holiday we kept house for Lorraine
Harris and Brian Parker while they went off to Shows. We enjoyed
ourselves so much looking after 8 little pups - from 2 litters - all needing
to be hand fed.

Batman loved
playing "Uncle" to all those Boxers and Siberian babies

Richard's niece, Rachel McCard, married Adam on Easter
Saturday - the real reason we went to Adelaide at Easter this year

The first 3 months of the year were so hot and so busy. There was
not much time to update this page. We went to enough shows in the
region to get Championship titles on three of the dogs, with a highlight
being the Runner Up to Best in Show win by our Irish Setter -
Champion Arigh O Maolagain ET.

We showed the dogs through March -
and had a great month

March 2006 saw the mine
rehabilitation work begin on the former Lake George Mines site on and adjacent to our property. I
started a
Blog
to document the work in progress. It turned into a historical record
by the time I finished.
